A haunting, visually stunning exploration of involuntary mania and psychological torment expressed through contemporary dance, rooted in a historical epidemic of compulsive movement.

Inspired by a powerful involuntary mania which took hold of citizens in the city of Strasbourg just over five hundred years ago, this film is a collaboration in isolation with some of the greatest dancers working today.
